What you should know before applying
We believe in transparency. Here's everything you need to make an informed decision.
We're a broker, not a lender
Loans 365 is a credit broker authorised and regulated by the FCA (FRN: 1036139). We match you with lenders from our panel. We don't make lending decisions or set interest rates. Any loan offer comes directly from the lender, and you're under no obligation to accept.
Missed payments affect your credit file
If you fail to make repayments on time, this will be recorded on your credit file and may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future. Always ensure you can meet the repayment schedule before accepting a loan.
Additional charges may apply
Lenders may charge additional fees for late or missed payments. These vary by lender. Always check the full terms and conditions before accepting any loan offer.
Loan renewal and extension
Some lenders may offer to extend or renew your loan. This typically means additional interest and fees. Carefully consider whether renewal is right for you.
Free debt advice is available

All credit histories considered
Our panel of lenders considers applications from people across the credit spectrum. Being declined elsewhere doesn't mean we can't help. We'll always search for an option that fits.
